Waking up the beast

I tried it the other way and the gas kept running out of the carb.

Good point. Well, your method should maintain a nice cold air fuel mixture. Sounds like horsepower to me!

I'm not sure either. But we're all going to find out together.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot about something.

My block is zero decked and my heads are milled. Don't know how much. The new intake doesn't line up.

Wow How far off is it? How thick are Gaskets?
I was running a .015 thick valley pan with 2 .015 thick gaskets on each side of tin pan with that intake.

If you need to just RTV it on, Bolts weight too much....
 
I have an aftermarket pan that goes under the heads. I had .030x2 gaskets wonder the other intake. I just took them off and the bolts are very close no gasket at all. I would be slightly forcing the bolts without gaskets.
 
Ok,, Sounds like when they milled the heads they did not mill the intake side of the heads to correct.

My heads had a lot taken off of them to get down to 74cc. but the also took a angle cut on intake side of head so all stock intakes will fit.

does intake fit flush top too bottom of ports?

Have Amish Bob post a picture of bolt holes...
 
Here's what the holes look like with no gaskets

Are you going to port match the intake to the heads?

Eventually I would. Just trying out the combo first.

So close.. does the intake lay flat on heads?

They look like they are laying flat. I can get the bolts in, but only without a gasket. there was a piece of gasket on the corner of the manifold. It was .030 thick.

Hopefully, this is what it will look like.

I just went in garage, I found 2) .030 gaskets hanging on wall.
I must have used 1) 0.15 thick and 1) .030 thick on each side of valley pan. so with valley pan I had a total of .060 thick.

Oh Hell just file the one side of each hole a little till it fits...

Once it is on and you go 11.0s you won't even notice!!!
 
So, it looks like the intake ports are about .050 too high.
